The dog over there looks like a German Shepherd, has the pointed ears and expression of a German Shepherd, is the same size as one - but the dog is totally white, with a pink nose. What kind of dog is that? Believe it or not, they are called White German Shepherds (and often American White or Berger Blanc Swiss). They are everything other German Shepherds are - except they aren't recognized by most kennel clubs in the world. There is a strange color prejudice in the world of dog breeding. Despite having purebred parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, a White German Shepherd or a White Boxer are not considered breed standard. Then again, this is the same world that chops off many dog's tails...

Also consider why you are getting the dog: protection, companion or for the children? Settle on a purpose for your dog and this will help narrow your breed selection.

One of the great things about FarmVille is that you can choose your own course to a great degree. Your priorities will determine the kind of farm you have, but what this winds up looking like is ultimately up to you. For instance, you can choose to devote more space to trees, crops, buildings, or farm animals. You can expand your farm into a large homestead, or just keep it as a modest family farm. You can raise crops that take several days to grow, or you can focus on ones that mature in a matter of hours. No matter what you choose, you'll be able to advance to new levels and unlock new items and aspects of game play, and you'll be earning ribbons along the way as well. How long this takes you...

Female dogs do not cruise the block looking for male studs. If only there were canine condoms. Well, that is not a reality, so every spring brings more unwanted litters. By nature, a young female dog could reasonably go into a heat cycle as early as four months and as late as two years. It varies greatly from dog to dog. Spaying a female before six months is recommended. An average heat can vary from two weeks to four weeks. The average heat is three weeks. There is an important benefit to spaying your female dog. An unspayed female is at greater risk of developing some tumors such as mammary tumors. Also, an unspayed female dog can develop pyometra (a serious uterine infection that can be fatal) as...

national pet adoption of rare and/or expensive breeds is a common choice for people seeking those animals at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, international pet adoption scams are also more commonplace, as reported on various news stories. ABC News is just one network reporting on pet shipping fraud. All typical pet shipping and international pet adoption scams have a basic premise. Fraudulent con artists, most frequently claiming to be from Africa, Cameroon, or Nigeria, reach out to people searching for a specific exotic cat, dog, or bird. Oftentimes, the sale price is less than the cost of international pet shipping, but the con artist insists that it is all about making sure the animal is in...

I had always been against buying a kitten at a pet store, but my girls and I were at the mall, and they talked me into getting them-sisters Diamond and Chloe. My oldest daughter even paid for them! And I have had a change of heart. Let me tell you why... When we were deciding whether to take these precious kittens home with us, we learned that they already have their first shots, were already treated for worms, and their first vet visit at the local vet office was free. And what is even greater than just a free vet visit, is that, if the kittens had anything wrong with them, the vet office would treat them for free. Ear mites, eye infections-treatment would be free. Our little girls got a clean bill...

If you have pets, from time to time you may wonder what would happen to them in the event of your death. Usually those thoughts are quickly pushed aside as too painful to think about. The choices that immediately come to mind are: 1. Do nothing and leave their fate up to providence. 2. Set up a trust to care for them per your specifications. 3. Leave them in the care of a trusted family member or friend. 4. Have them humanely euthanized and let them accompany you to the next world like the Pharaohs of old. Of course there are pros and cons to each of these options and the choice is further complicated depending upon the number, age, and expected life span of your pet(s). Probably the most common is...

This is a very important issue for pet owners to consider. The obvious answer is if you don't want to be responsible for the care of a litter of puppies, neuter your pet! It only takes a pet getting out one time to have an unintentional litter of puppies or kittens. Many of the homeless animals had well meaning owners at the start of life. Often times the owners of the "parent" pet tried to find homes for the puppies or kittens and were unsuccessful. The sad fact is that many more animals go into shelters than there are people who are willing to adopt these abandoned animals. Some people feel "setting them free" will save them from death at a shelter, but the truth is animals abandoned to the...

Saying good-bye to a beloved pet can be a hurtful and emotionally draining experience, especially if the pet has been a member of the family for a number of years. In our family we had four dogs over the course of forty years. They were all quite different but all of them brought joy and laughter into our crazy, hectic lives. Unfortunately pets do not live forever no matter how much we may want them to. Our first dog left us when he was 18 years old. He had not been sick since recovering from a heart attack and stroke five years earlier. One night he came in from outside, laid down in his favorite spot, and closed his eyes forever. I do not need to tell you how my heart was broken. I still...

We have all heard of animal shelters where stray, lost, unwanted, abused, and neglected pets can be found. Some of these animals are found on the streets and others are dumped there by their owners who for various reasons no longer seem to want their faithful pets. While some animal shelters have no other choice than to euthanized these innocent animals there are no kill animal shelters. While these types of no kill animal shelters are in the minority they serve a very valuable to service to the community. Like the regular animal shelters these no kill animal shelters look after homeless animals that have been left behind or turned out by their human families. In the no kill animal shelters the...

A story bound character, Lorenzo von Matterhorn, is quite popular nowadays on the internet. This character appeared in the CBS sitcom 'How I Met Your Mother'.

However he was saved by a Milanese woman who found him in the basket along the banks of the river Po. She brought him up. This abandonment instilled great mercy and affection in Lorenzo for the abandoned and homeless animals and at a very young age, he tried his best to provide shelter to all the stray animals he came across. This soft-heartedness also made him to plan...

Sometimes special animals come into our lives and touch our hearts in a way that leaves us forever changed. A chapter ends as the familiar road you traveled together comes to an abrupt and. You are in uncharted territory without a map. Lost. The world as you know it may look totally different. Not everyone realizes that the bond between humans and their pets can be deeper than with a loved human. Some people often spend more time with their pets than they do with family members. Pets don't judge or hurt us the way humans can. The loss of their constant, unconditional love can leave us empty. There is no best way to get through the loss of a beloved pet. The way through the grief process is different...

In every city, in every state, there are thousands of homeless animals. In the U.S. as a whole, it is estimated that there are between six and eight million homeless animals entering animal shelters every year. Not all of these animals are aggressive, out of control animals. The majority of these are someone's pet, puppies and kittens of cherished family pets and even purebreds. Half of these animals that find themselves in a shelter are adopted out to responsible families and tragically, the other half are euthanized. These are healthy, loving pets who could have become a great companion. It is of no fault of these animals that we choose to permit their existence and yet we turn a blind eye on...

FarmVille is a social game. Point. You cannot progress in the game without neighbors. Even if you want to buy more land, you will need at least 8 neighbors before you may purchase it. Neighbors are a crucial part of playing, and enable you to do much more. Neighbors can send you much needed gifts, especially in the beginning when you have little coins and have to wait for crops to grow before you can spend again. Very important gifts are animals and trees. In reality, these two specific items will cost you a fortune, and it will take months before you actually start profiting from it. It is just not worthwhile to spend your hard earned coins on them. Besides gifting, neighbors can share their...

This book is one of the publications I picked up for my son who adopted a young dog from a rescue shelter a few days ago. I found the book interesting enough to read before shipping it to my son, in case I may someday stay at home and get a dog for myself. The contents of the book are: Yes, You can Teach an Old Dog New Tricks! Choosing the Right Trainer Teaching Proper House Manners The Basic Commands Game Time! Dogs, very much like people, get set in their ways as they grow older, but that doesn't mean that they cannot adapt to a new owner or a new home. Training an older dog is different than training a puppy, and an older dog may come to a new owner with his own set of psychological baggage from...

Long-time dog owners know the painful process of grieving for their beloved dogs. Whether your dog passed away suddenly or after a long illness, the pain is never easy to digest. You don't realize how much your lives were intertwined until she passes away. Be sure to take care of yourself and your young children by getting enough sleep and eating properly during the grieving period. Moderate or avoid alcohol.

Dogs are one of the most wonderful pets you can add to a home. Not only do they show a lot of affection, but they can also be therapeutic for children with issues.

Of that amount you will find that more than half is usually dog abuse.

Link between Humans and Canines Dogs have proved their loyalty to humans over time, assisting us in countless tangible and intangible ways, expecting very little in exchange. Since their domestication by humans more than 30,000 years ago, dogs have walked along with humans to hunt, to protect our belongings, to serve the disabled, to rescue those in need and give us the much needed love and companionship. From our side we do our best to take care of their needs and improve the quality of their lives. The human bond with dogs is unmistakable and its no wonder that this mutually beneficial relationship has grown and strengthened over the years. What Dogs Do For Us While dogs do countless services to...

When you hear the term "working dogs", what comes first into your mind? You may think of a canine that does more than just barking at strangers who stay close at your yard or those that do more than just stay and hang out at your house all day. What about those dogs which get in the car when you drive to the office? Well, to some degree working dogs do more than just those things mentioned above. The working dogs, as the name implies, are those that perform tasks more valuable than what humans can do. They are trained to perform roles and responsibilities like taking care or protecting a family or a property, guiding people with disabilities, guarding flocks and herds from harmful intruders, and...

Summer thunderstorms and celebratory fireworks are horrors for those unfortunate dogs that suffer from a noise phobia. Its a phobia that is more common than we think and can be helped by looking at natural remedies that have no side effects. Anti-anxiety drugs such as Prozac and Buspar can work but take 3-4 weeks to take effect and also can have side effects. Looking at natural alternatives seems a better option. Tryptophan is found in complex Carbohydrates so by feeding your dog this kind of diet you will give him a natural boost. Tryptophan is in fact a precursor for Serotonin and Serotonin effects mood. When the dog eats carbohydrates this stimulates the production of insulin which in turn...

When you first bring a rescue dog into your home - especially an older one who may be very set in his ways - your first responsibility is to get to know your dog. This requires constant and careful observation. You must spend time getting to know your dog, learning how to read him so that you will understand which training techniques will work best with your dog. For instance, if your dog has quickly assumed the role of "Alpha dog", your task at hand will require immediate and influential action. However, if he is demonstrating tentativeness, he may be simply in the "role confusion" stage and only needs to see signs of leadership from you to learn where he belongs in the family hierarchy. So job...

Dogs are unique animals in that they can immediately become a part of your family. If you have had your dog for any time at all, you are no doubt well aware of this fact. It is the continuing domestication of dogs that makes them more and more adaptable to living the family lifestyle with each passing generation of dog.

It doesn't matter what kind of dog you have or whether it's primarily a companion or a working dog relationship, your dog is a friend that will stick with you for life. One of the reasons for their amazing ability to bond with humans is because wolves, ancestors to all dog breeds found today, have similar...

People would not typically say Doberman Pinscher as their first choice of a dog to train for search and rescue work. Readers should be aware that, in addition to guarding, police work and service work, the Doberman Pinscher can be a great asset to police searches for a missing person. This possibility for a Doberman will be addressed in this article. In order to participate in search and rescue work, the Doberman would work with the handler as partner for field work in missing person searches. It is the job of the handler to ensure that the dog is safe while it tracks the scent of the missing person, and leads the handler to that person. Search and rescue dogs are used for a number of emergency...

Dogs once existed as wild creatures; roaming in packs and surviving on their instincts. Humans domesticated them over 14,000 years ago - since then they have become our companions and we have become closely bonded with them. Dogs are highly social animals and many cultures consider them to be important members of the family and regard them to be man's best friend. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of dogs owned as pets; now 22 % of the population in Britain have at least one dog in their household. Dogs are intelligent and they require both mental and physical stimulation, for which, they are entirely dependent on humans. Being highly sociable, intelligent and adaptable has...

Before you start socializing a dog that has been neglected or abused, you need to have a good understanding of pack leadership and have completed at least one month of the basic training lessons. When you feel that you have good control over your dog, and that he is respecting your position as pack leader you are ready to move up to reintroducing the dog into society. Reintroducing a Poorly Socialized Dog to Society Dogs love to play, but what we sometimes don't understand is that they NEED to play. Any dog that is kept isolated from canine or human companionship, which never enjoys a game of toss the all or tug the bone, or experiences the joy of a playful relationship with its owners, will be an...
